I like to check /var/log/dmesg and syslog.  The card that cannot ping or be 
pinged may actually be experiencing a hardware issue.  I had a card once that 
I was able to assign an IP to, but it failed to function.  It turns out it 
was an IRQ conflict.  Moving the card to another PCI slot resolved the issue.
